Like their peers in other industries, state and local IT leaders are interested in modernization, but budget constraints often stand in the way. In my experience working with government agencies, many organizations wait five years or even longer to upgrade their data center infrastructures.

Here are four ways that states, cities and counties can streamline data center management through modernization.

A modern vehicle processes an estimated 25 gigabytes of data each hour. Much of that is for internal operations, such as navigation and continuous optimization of the drivetrain. But an increasing amount of data involves driving conditions, such as hard braking. Today, fleet owners and insurance companies use that data internally to detect unsafe driving…
